Oh my, how things have changed.
There was a afternoon that if I wasn’t lying on the floor unable to catch my breath, it wasn’t a nice workout, of course, that was numerous decades ago.
These nights, 40 minutes in the pool is just about right. But whatever works I guess. I have always been the sort who would rather be active than sit inside the central air conditioning watching TV. That led to me getting into laboring out plus I went all in with that situation. It was back in the 90’s when there was a lot less known about exercise science. So my associate and I just got out of the air conditioning to push ourselves to exhaustion with stuff that would be considered sort of cross training now. Then, it was into some gym that had no commercial Heating and A/C plus only fans. This was a muscle heads delight. And every sizable bodybuilder was there afternoon in plus afternoon out. But that wasn’t my scene as my associate and I were into more of a high rep routine. It was intense plus I was absolutely in good shape for a lot of years. But that stuff came with a price as it punished my joints. And now, I take my exercise with a dose of air conditioning. The health plus wellness center I got to these nights has zone controlled Heating and A/C. I appreciate being upstairs with the resistance equipment. That’s more my speed these nights. Still builds muscle strength however much easier on my joints. And getting out of the air conditioning comes with lap after attractive lap in the pool instead of all that punishment my associate and I were into 30 years ago.
